Josiah Pisel, The Arrival Co Founder & Co-Owner, Realtor, Vacation Manager

Josiah Pisel began his real estate career in earnest over twenty years ago, leading the largest property management company in Homer, Alaska. But his roots are even deeper — his journey began in his youth, helping his family manage multiple B&Bs in the Homer area before buying a vacation property of his own and getting into real estate.

  • “As a 12-year-old, I used to love combing through the newspaper, looking at all the houses and real estate for sale — this place has an elevator, and this one has a pool!” That passion for the real estate industry has been a constant in his life and career. With the goal of helping more folks benefit from real estate opportunities, Josiah expanded his work from rental management to investor consultations and home buyer representation in Alaska and Montana. He takes pride in providing thoughtfully-curated experiences for guests, and seamless transactions for real estate buyers and sellers that support a path to financial freedom. Hardworking and humble, Josiah naturally instills confidence through his subject matter expertise and clear, honest communication. He offers clients unique insights that allow them to make informed decisions. A data enthusiast, he loves pouring over spreadsheets and putting the numbers to work for his clients’ best interests.

    When not giving property tours or analyzing data, Josiah is usually found out in the mountains, on the water, or on a trail.
